Do you need the extra space/seats?
I just sold our 90 and bought a 110, as l started using it for my business. In the 110 l can carry tools etc plus people.
And which do you prefer the look of? I like the 110 but some of my friends preferred the 90. The 110 has a better ride quality, but it's still a Defender, so you know when you hit a pothole.

i have a 110 and wouldn't want anything else. On a recent trip to Morocco we only had one 90 in the group and that was the one that broke both front and rear diffs. It was a 110 that towed him out of the desert to a garage. For me its a no contest, 110 wins hands down.
I bought a 90 which I love dearly but if I had my time over again I'd seriously think about a 110 because there's not a lot of room in the 90. My friend has a 110 double cab and it's roomier, plus you've got the pickup which we fill with firewood and it doesn't mess up the interior.

I've had both a 90 hard top and a 110 double cab it's truly whatever your needs are
I'm running a 110 utility purely because I carry tools, the dogs and my kids
If you go for a 110 I personally recommend wheel spacers and adjust the lock stops it really helps the turning circle a lot

As pretty as it is my Double Cab is not so useful as you might think.
It's great for me to go diving in as all the wet stuff goes in the boot and the water can drip out on the way home. The tailgate makes a great seat to sit down on when you put your equipment on as well.
However if I and the misses want to go camping with our three dogs there just ain't the room for a tent, food, sleeping stuff etc. Lucky she has a 110 CSW then.....

I've done so much to my double cab it's basically a full cab in bits. Full cab is the best, DC has the looks. Can't imagine the 90 having enough space for gear for two people on an adventure but I bad at packing.
